In this fantastically informative episode with Dr. Bonnie J. Kaplan, we explore the direct connection between mental health and nutrient intake. The evidence detailed in this episode and in Bonnie's book, The Better Brain is clear and consistent across populations. It is my hope that by releasing this episode folks will be inspired to change their diets and see for themselves the mental health benefits that transpire. I believe that a proper diet can keep us off medications or help us decrease them, but if you are on psychiatric medications make sure to work with a professional if you plan to take micronutrients. You may need medication adjustments. In this episode, we uncover: * what happens to our mental health when we eat processed foods * the definition of what Bonnie calls a "hungry brain" * how the brain gets vitamins and nutrients and what it does with them * the ways focus changes the brain's needs * what it means to eat your cofactor * why focusing on one single nutrient or vitamin will not fix your brain health * why eating whole foods isn't always enough for brain health and what to do about it * how minimally processed foods could be better than nonprocessed * what to look for in a broad spectrum multi-nutrient * cases of psychosis and trauma being modulated by micronutrients * what Bonnie hops all mental health clinics will tell their clients when they're first referred * and so much more... Bonnie's formal training and degrees (masters, PhD, postdoc) were from the University of Chicago, Brandeis University, the West Haven, Connecticut, VA Hospital Neuropsychology Laboratory, and Yale University Department of Neurology. When Bonnie is asked how she became interested in Nutrition and Mental Health, she explains that her training in psychology and neuroscience led her to focus on the biological basis of human behaviour. For many years she studied the role of nutrition in mental illness and brain development. Three awards that she feels very honoured by: are her election in 2017 as one of 150 Canadian Difference Makers in Mental Health, the Dr. Rogers Prize for excellence in complementary and alternative medicine because of her research on nutrition and mental disorders, and in 2021 chosen as one of the top7over70 in Calgary. As Bonnie approached retirement, she decided to focus on two tasks. One was knowledge translation -educating the general public about the role of diet in creating vulnerability to mental health problems. From that goal, her book The Better Brain emerged, written for the general public with Professor Julia Rucklidge, and published in 2021 by Harper Collins. Her second goal was to raise funds to support her junior colleagues who were leaving the field because of their inability to convince government funding agencies that scientific research on nutrition and mental health was worthwhile. She established two charitable funds, one in Canada (managed by the Calgary Foundation) and one in the U.S. (managed by the FJC Foundation in New York City). So far, the two funds have attracted over $1 million CAD. All of it has been distributed, mostly to support clinical trials and biomarker research in relation to nutritional treatment of mental health. Scientists in Canada, the U.S., and New Zealand have been recipients of those funds, and now additional money is being sought for further assays of epigenetic, microbiome, and metabolomic indicators of the benefit of micronutrient treatment.

Are there nutritional interventions that can help alleviate symptoms of mental illnesses? While our modern healthcare system frequently prescribes medications to address various conditions, it may be overlooking a powerful solution: broad-spectrum micronutrients in the treatment of mental illness… In this conversation, we connect with Professor Julia Rucklidge to get her take on this intriguing topic.

In the first half, neuroscientist Kristen Willeumier shared ways in which we can build and maintain cognitive health throughout our lifetimes. Dr. Willeumier highlighted the uniqueness of each person's brain chemistry, saying that "every case is different… due to environmental factors or genetic factors." She underscored the significance of staying active both physically and mentally, pointing to studies that link physical activity with increased blood flow to the brain, which helps preserve cognitive function. "Staying cognitively engaged and physically active… can really help slow down or reduce our risk of dementia," she insisted.The conversation then shifted to dietary influences on brain health. Dr. Willeumier recommended the Mediterranean diet, rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and healthy fats. "Berries have been shown to really help support healthy brain function," she noted, adding that foods high in omega-3 fatty acids, such as fatty fish and walnuts, also promote cognitive well-being.Dr. Willeumier shared other practical tips for improving brain health, including engaging in mindfulness practices, reducing processed food intake, and managing stress, which can lead to shrinkage of key brain areas. "Stress can shrink brain volume in the prefrontal cortex… which is essential for higher cognitive functioning," she warned. Dr. Willeumier also touched on the future of neurotechnology, specifically Neuralink's brain-computer interface. "These technologies could really transform the way we look at what is possible with the brain," she said.Sleep was another crucial topic. Dr. Willeumier explained that restorative sleep is vital for memory consolidation and emotional regulation. Throughout the rest of the interview, she provided listeners with more tangible strategies to "biohack" their brains. "Practicing gratitude, taking brisk walks, and even enjoying a piece of dark chocolate can promote brain health," she advised.---------------------In the second half, animal communicator Amelia Kinkade shared stories of reincarnated animals coming back to the humans they love. "Everywhere I go, 75% of hands go up when I ask if people feel their pets have reincarnated," she shared. Kinkade recounted a story about a veterinarian's deceased cat who communicated details of her own death, and even described a future incarnation. "[Beings] can actually negotiate reincarnation," Kinkade noted.A significant theme of the conversation was the innate intuition that all humans possess. "There's no sixth sense; it's our first sense. We all have the capability to connect deeply with other beings," Kinkade stated. She emphasized that animal behavior often reflects human emotional states, saying, "If a person is upset, the animal mirrors that emotion—it's a deep spiritual practice."She also described her late chocolate Persian cat's reincarnation, which she encountered during a safari in Africa. "I had a vision of a lioness asking for my blessing for her cub," Kinkade said. Later on that same trip, she met the cub from her vision and realized her cat had returned. "He's come home to Africa, and he's changed species, but it's still him," she asserted.She encouraged listeners to embrace their connections with animals, explaining that they serve as guides and healers. "Your animal is your spirit guide," she explained. "They don't leave you forever. They just need to sometimes go off and get a new body."

Rob Liebreich, CEO and President of Goodwin Living, discusses why the 60-year-old faith-based not-for-profit organization is a provider of choice, employer of choice, and champion of social good. Learn how Goodwin Livings complimentary Stronger Memory program has positively impacted tens of thousands of lives by improving brain health in three simple steps. About Rob Robert “Rob” Liebreich started his service as President and CEO of Goodwin Living in July 2019. He brings energy, compassion and a creative drive, as well as proven leadership in senior living for over 20 years.  Prior to joining Goodwin Living, Rob was the executive director of the Asbury Methodist Village (AMV), a 1400 person not-for-profit continuing care retirement community in Maryland. He has also held senior positions in marketing and operations for senior living organizations in the Washington-Baltimore metropolitan area and the Pacific Northwest. Rob studied Business Administration and International Business and Marketing at Georgetown University and graduated 1997. He earned a Master of Business Administration with a concentration in Senior Care and Housing from Johns Hopkins University in 2005. Rob is a Certified Dementia Practitioner, and his other passions include his family, travel, mentoring and brain health. Key Takeaways Goodwin Living offers complimentary educational and career path opportunities for team members—80 to 100 team members every year work on future educational goals, with Goodwin Living taking on hundreds of thousands of school debt. Goodwin Living's diverse team of 1,200 members represents over 65 different countries of origin, with a quarter of the team not holding U.S. citizenship. The Goodwin Living Foundation has supported more than 160 team members to become citizens, pairing them with resident mentors to study for the exam. A study from Japan shows that reading aloud, writing by hand, and doing simple math problems quickly on a consistent basis levels cognitive decline and, in many cases, improves brain function. Early interventions hold off the need for care. Stronger Memory clears the brain pathways by engaging the brain's prefrontal cortex and hippocampus, which improves the “working memory” and improves the processing of information, based on research from George Mason University.

What impact does your blood sugar level have on your brain power? Every cell in your body needs energy to run. And one of the main ways you provide this energy is through glucose. But while eating foods high in starch and sugar will give you a glucose spike, that doesn't actually give your body or brain the energy it needs to be consistent. I'm excited to have Jessie Inchauspé on our show today. Jessie is biochemist who shares her insights and knowledge of the effect glucose has on the body and brain. She's here to talk about the strategies from her latest book, The Glucose Goddess Method: The 4-Week Guide to Cutting Cravings, Getting Your Energy Back, and Feeling Amazing. Giving your body energy isn't simply a matter of eating more glucose. In fact, eating too much can lead to a wide range of problems including inflammation, diabetes, and more. Listen in as Jessie shares four simple food principles you can introduce into your diet today to help balance your glucose, improve cognitive performance, and live a better life.
